nicely written, Pegita......

as for me, I am tired of shouting into the wind......people aren't listening, not even here on FR......

I know this is murder, the way they are doing this....

what gets me so angry is the way our justice system has just ushered this thru...they never listened at all.....perhaps, it is bad lawyering, but judges are supposed to see thru that......

I am a nurse, I will be working on Easter Sunday, and I will see many very ill patients , some close to death....

I just can't imagine treating a very sick person or even a dying person the way MS is treating Terri.....

you turn them gently, wipe their mouths out, talk to them in soothing voices, medicate their pain, wash them and rub lotion on their skin as necessary, provide nice, soft warm blankets .....

most of all, you enable the family to be there 24/7......you treat the family with as much tenderness as you do the patient.....

I ask myself how professionally licensed nurses and doctors could go thru this charade, all these years....

our number one goal is to be patient advocates.....

now, I find out that ONE person can prohibit you from even simple treatments for the patient....how can this be?

anyway, I think Terri will be gone very soon.....

I pray for her, for her family, and to God, to please enlighten us down here, as to why our society has become so callous that it would permit killing a poor soul like Terri....I really don't understand that....

Your patients are very blessed with your presence, cherry. Please, when you minister to them, tell them Pegita said hello.
